Gota ? I got SOT from Laner on Sat and finished it up last night, it was like digital crack. I just couldn't stop playing the game. I'd like to play the sequel, but I heard the xbox version atleast was buggy (savegames) as hell. If I do decide to pick it up are there any workarounds or ways to avoid the bugs?

If you're a big platforming fan there are some truly fantastic levels buried under the crap music and attitude of Warrior Within. The first three or four hours of Warrior Within are really bad, but stick with it until you get to the clock tower or the water garden. The game gets a lot better at that point.

The first levels were bad, but it does get a whole lot better. The combat will be fun after a couple of hours, and the story's cool too. And the music, well, I guess I actually liked some 'persian metal' to go along these brutal fights.

So, really, don't listen to all the nay-sayers, and get through the beginning part (where you'll absolutely be disappointed), and enjoy the game for what it is. An exciting, very cool, platformer/fighter.

I'm with the others. WW has parts that actually supercede those found in SOT, you just have to get through the first few hours before you see them. However many cannot get past the way UbiSoft went over the top trying to make this game appeal to more people (ironically it did, WW sold much better than SOT). I could do without the lame voiceovers, including the death girls that liked spouting sexual innuendos, and the hard rock beat though.

Ubisoft announces that Prince of Persia Warrior Within has already doubled sales of the brand's first installment, with 1.8 million units delivered since its December 2nd release. During an extremely competitive holiday season, Prince of Persia Warrior Within has proven itself as a force with which to be reckoned.

That's right ... Sands of Time didn't sell nearly as well as it should have, did it? Fuck, what a shame. Such an awesome game. But then it has gained two sequels, so it's not as if the game was totally ignored.

True, but I'll just ignore the sequels as the ass they are. At some point, I might force myself to sit down and burn through the rest of WW. If I don't make it that far, it will go on the short list of games I've physically thrown away out of disgust rather than try to get some money or trade value out of.
